How Does CAP Work?

The CAP Internship Program provides MICA students with a three-tiered internship forum. CAP also includes professional development workshops, which allow students to interact with one another while effectively building skills and experiences that can serve them well throughout their lives. Areas of focus include developing important career and life competencies; applying leadership skills to real situations; working collaboratively with peers and seasoned professionals; solving complex problems; and effectively navigating issues related to cultural and socioeconomic diversity. CAP Internships revolve around the individual student's academic calendar and personal availability. Interns are typically paired with another student and assigned to a community site partner based on their skills, mobility, schedules, and goals.

 

CAP interns commit to a certain number of hours of on-site and off-site work for the semester. A student's tier level also determines their level of compensation. Tiers are as follows:

  • 40 hours for Tier 1 ($287.50)
  • 60 hours for Tier 2 ($345.00 or 1.5 studio elective credits*)
  • 120 hours for Tier 3 ($575.00 or 3 studio elective credits*)

*To receive credit for CAP, students must complete an "Add a Class" form, available through Enrollment Services. The form must be signed by the CAP Director and the student's Academic Advisor.
